When I made these for my family last week, they took a glance and asked what sort of dessert I had created. I explained that “this was dinner.” They were beyond excited that they were going to get to eat PASTRY for dinner. I agree… stuffed pastry is a very good thing indeed! I’m partnering with Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry the next few months to create recipes for my readers, and I also have some very exciting news to share on how you can win a trip to the Pepperidge Farm® Innovation Center in Norwalk, CT by sharing your own idea of creating something delicious with Puff Pastry! Scroll down to the bottom of this post for more info. Here’s how I made my recipe:
These are the goodies you’ll need for preparing this recipe: Puff Pastry, heavy whipping cream, TURKEY, egg, dijon mustard, green onions, mushrooms, BACON and salt/pepper.
Oh YEAH… and Swiss cheese!
Saute mushrooms and chopped green onion and then add in heavy whipping cream and Dijon (flavor!) to make a yummy sauce.
Cut each sheet of Puff Pastry into 4 equal pieces (you’ll then have 8, of course).
To asssemble: spread a generous spoonful of creamy mushroom sauce, then turkey, then bacon, then Swiss cheese.
You’ll cover all of that good stuff with another layer of Puff Pastry (roll it out a little or stretch and press with your fingers to make it slightly larger than the bottom piece.
Use a fork to press the edges to seal.
Mix egg with a tablespoon of water and brush it on top of each Puff Pastry pocket. Then bake for about 20 minutes. That’s it!
They come out of the oven all golden and wonderful like these guys…
…and when you cut into them you’ll get to discover all of that piping-hot good stuff inside. Delicious idea for using up that (impending) leftover turkey, right? My family LOVED this. And my husband thought the next-day leftovers were even better. I’d say that’s a very good thing indeed!
My TOP PICK winner from the last Puff Pastry recipe I shared is:
